The Democrats WHO will meet in this
city on the 10th and 2lst of July will,
however, probably nominate a resident
Of southern or central Ohio for govern
or, hence it is more than probable that
Ohio will be given the NOM
inatiOn for lieutenant governor. We
notice that our neigh hboribg friends III
the Nineteenth congressional district
are proposing he name of Hon. D. g.
Goldman, of / q ,enna, Portage county,
for the position. Without any dispo
sition to disparage the Claims of any
other Democrat of northern Ohio we
incline to the opinion that Mr.. Cool
man possesses many qualifications
that ought to insure his nom nation if
he desires it. His lameL tsd father,
Hon. William Goldman, wxs Demo
cratic representative from Portage
county many years ago, and his sons
have adhered to the principles their
father taught them. ID. G. Goldman,
or Clint" as he is familiarly known,
is civil engineer by profession, and
was at one time chief engineer of the
succeeding that erratie Englishman,
T. w. Kennard. after whom q well
known hotel in this city is called. In
1866 Goldman was nominated by the
Democrats of his district for Congress,
to lead fOrlOrn hope" General
Garfield was his antagonist. The dis
Irict was hopelessly Republican, yet
Goldman ran ahead of his ticket. In
1868 Goldman was a delegate to the
New York national convention. In
1871 he was again placed in the field,
for state senator, being nominated
while absent in the discharge of rail-
road duties. In 1880 he was delegate
TO The Democratic national oOnvep-
tiOn which nominated Hancock. In
1888 his name was proposed for lieu
tenant governor, but after Hoadly was
nominated. in the interest Of harmony
Mr.. Goldman gracefully withdrew thus
securing The nomination of Hon. John
q. Warwick. Upon his return home
he was nominated for representative
by acclamation by the Democrats of
his county, and he made such fight
that it WAS q week before it was known
who was elected. The face of the re-
turns elected Mr.. Goldman, but the
final returns showed that his opponent
DIR sherman, WAS elected by eighteen
majority in that strong republican
county. Throughout the state the
gallant fight of Goodman was univer-
sally talked about. Governor Hoadly
upon taking the executive chair, ap
pointed Goldman TO his first political
position, member of the boarL of man
ayers of the penitentiary and president
of the board. AT the expiration of his
term he was reappOihted, but he was
deposed by Governor Foraker for po-
litical reasons. which called forth q
spicy correspondence,su supplemented by
letter from Hoadly which stirred
up the animals" Mr.. Goldman has
been unanimously elected by hia
neighbors 10 several local positions
where good judgment and executive
capacity have been desirable. He has
long been at the head of the Diamond
Glass Co., of Ravsnna. He has never
had any difficulties with his men,
settling all disputes amicably and al
ways paying highest prices, and eyer
being opposed to the Importation oi
CONTRACT labor. Most of the prominent
Democrats of Cleveland know Mr..
CloOlman, his genial ways and pleas
ant bearing. He is Q good parliament.
arian, a fine scholar, and would make
La splendid presiding officer. 1t is GER
| tain, too, that he would never declare
that seventeen is majority of thirty
seven. 1t would be u compliment to
the Democracy of the Nineteenth dis
trict, if Goldman should be nominated
which would be appreciated. The
district contains TruDbuil, Ashtabula
and other strong Republican Counties
and there can be no local prefermenl
for any Democrat in them. Men who
are Democrats in a district like the
| Nineteenth are Democrats from prin
ciple aud will always do to tie to.
